More details emerge in domestic violence case against Ravens’ Rashod Bateman

A 26-year-old woman who lived with Rashod Bateman and has a daughter with him told authorities that the Ravens wide receiver woke her up in the middle of the night, called her a liar and pushed her into the wall, likely causing “one or more” of the bruises on her face, according to a report provided Monday by police in Monroe, Georgia.

The report provides more detail about the allegations against Bateman, 26, that led to a misdemeanor charge of family violence as well as charges of reckless conduct and property damage. Bateman was released on bond and records online did not list a court date.

An attorney for Bateman did not immediately respond Monday to the police report. Attorney Jordan Siev, Bateman’s lawyer, previously issued a statement calling the incident “a personal family situation that has been taken completely out of context for sensational reasons.”

“We will let the court process play out, and the facts will come out at that time,”Siev said.

The woman told police that she was hesitant to discuss the incident because she did not want Bateman to get in trouble. The Banner generally does not identify victims of violence without their consent.

The alleged fight started around 3:30 a.m. on June 3. Afterward, Bateman told her to leave and went to sleep, so she packed suitcases, took their 3-month-old daughter, and drove off, she told officers.

“Mr. Bateman began repeatedly calling and texting her. He threatened to put her dog out on the street, prompting her to answer,” officers wrote in the report. “He expressed frustration that he did not get to say goodbye to his daughter, and the two agreed to meet.”

They met outside of a pizza shop in downtown Monroe, Georgia. Bateman was driven there by their driver, according to the police report.

“She advised that he had a screwdriver and began trying to pop her driver’s side rear tire with it,” police wrote. “He then, likely using the same screwdriver, repeatedly struck her windshield.”

Officers wrote that he shattered the driver’s side window and busted a hole in the windshield before heading off. Later, the woman flagged down officers. Police wrote that she had multiple cuts and bruises on her face.

“Several of these lacerations still had shards of glass in them,” officers wrote.

They wrote that the baby was not injured, but they found glass in her hair.

The incident is also under review by the NFL. Under the league’s personal conduct policy, a family violence violation could result in a baseline unpaid suspension of six games.
